So, I've just gotten home from Red Tails. This is not a movie that gets an Og Movie Review. Og is for movies that make me want to warn people away from spending money on them. I will admit that there were a few places in Red Tails that made me wonder if George Lucas had sneaked onto the set and inserted his own dialogue into the script. But overall I could believe in the characters, and I really liked Terence Howard's performance, and oh God I want to be a pilot so much now.

I'd say it's worth seeing, and that if you find yourself having to go to the bathroom during the movie, wait for a sequence where they're on the ground and somebody other than the pilots and the ground crew is on screen and you should come out okay.

ETA: Let me put it like this. There was a preview for the 3-D re-release of The Phantom Menace in front of this (along with about eight other previews). Whether done in 3-D or not, I would rather watch Red Tails a second time than watch The Phantom Menace a second time.

Much rather.




oh God I want my own P-51 Mustang so very very much.

I've been on the fence about seeing this one due to the ... Terrance Howardness of it, but SHINY! AIRPLANES!

They know my weaknesses.
